Meet the artist! Who is The Armed?

They will soon be heading over to Europe for the first time and, on 24/02, they will appear in the AB Club. The Armed: complex guitar lines, atypical drum parts and screaming, lots of screaming. The mixed 5 from Detroit bear the name The Armed and set foot in Europe for the first time. They come to present their most recent album 'Only Love'.
